Chapter 311 Awesome Decision
Liana had an arrogant attitude not too long ago, but now she was as lousy as she could be. Before Catherine could decide, Ronin spoke first, his smiles full of sarcasm and his gaze cold enough to penetrate Liana’s heart like a sword.
“What? You start begging for mercy now, huh? Are you afraid? Liana, weren’t you arrogant just now? You incited the others to join in the criticism of Catherine. How come you’re not being arrogant now? Why don’t you continue?”
Liana knew she was now at a disadvantage and didn’t dare to speak, worrying that irritating Ronin would be even more disadvantageous. One had to know that Catherine was nicer to Ronin, an outsider than she was to any of them.
Ronin was unhappy with Liana but even more with the people making a fuss together. He stood beside Catherine with his chin held high, eyes sweeping the class with contempt.
“You guys are smart, righteous, and eager to help. Now that Liana has lost her words, why don’t you guys help speak up for her?”
With Liana’s appearance, anyone with the slightest judgment could tell she had a guilty conscience.
Otherwise, why would she beg Catherine? Anyone who wasn’t too stupid could figure out what was going on here.
Keeping silent now was to protect themselves, and they naturally wouldn’t stand up for Liana at this time.
Seeing the true colors of these people, Ronin couldn’t help but make another sarcastic comment, the kind that was directed at the whole class.
“Humph, you change your mind so easily and have no judgment at all. That’s all you guys got, huh? How ridiculous!”
Some students lowered their heads in embarrassment, while others were unconvinced by Ronin’s scolding. They were spoiled at home and were unwilling to be scolded. Therefore, someone directly stood out to refute it.
However, after learning about the situation, the student directly targeted Liana.
“Liana, why don’t you say anything? You accused Catherine of plotting against your brother and asked us to stand up for you to get justice. Why do you give up halfway now? Are you being threatened by Catherine, or do you have a secret? Say something, now! Stop using us and letting us take the rap for you.”
After this student finished speaking, some others immediately spoke up for him.
“That’s right. You should give us an explanation!”
“In my opinion, she’s probably using us. She usually looks like a delicate young lady, but she’s not that kind in her heart.”
“An angelic bitch, for sure. Liana had never suffered such hostility from her classmates. It had always been her who incited them against others.
This was the first time she had been targeted, and she was so angry that she wanted to kill Catherine right now. She knew that this was what Catherine was up to. She didn’t make a response herself but instead got Ronin to incite everyone to strike her down.
“Catherine is too ruthless! She wants to bring me down once and for all,” thought Liana. If Liana were to retort now, not to mention what Catherine would do, just this group of brainless classmates could kill her.
Therefore, the only thing she could do now was to stay silent and do nothing, waiting until the right time to counterattack.
With her head lowered and red eyes, Liana bit her lower lip tightly without responding and looked pathetic.
Seeing this, Ronin was about to explode with anger. He whispered to Catherine.
“Catherine, the girl is still playing pitiful even now. Those who don’t know would think that we bullied her. She’s so hateful!”
Then he added. “Catherine, let me tell you. This girl has such talent. It’s really a pity that she doesn’t engage in acting. Don’t you think so?”
Catherine lazily looked up and glanced in Liana’s direction, just in time to see the hostility crossing the corner of Liana’s eye. She silently sneered in her heart.
“Don’t give me the chance to embarrass you if you are capable of doing so!” said Catherine inwardly.
Liana had really learned their mother’s tricks very well, but unfortunately, her skills were not as smart as their mother’s.
As a result, whenever she jumped out to make a scene, she would be defeated and humiliated. Not only did she not take advantage of the situation, but she also made a mess of herself.
If she genuinely felt sorry for Johnathan and came to Catherine to plead for mercy, Catherine might have thought highly of Liana.
But the purpose of Liana’s behavior today was too obvious. She was here to get Catherine in trouble, so Catherine, of course, shouldn’t be blamed for hitting back at her.
Because of this commotion, the class was thrown into disarray. Just a moment ago, the students were all targeting Catherine, but now they were all pointing fingers at Liana. The homeroom teacher was having a headache. She didn’t understand how kids could be so rowdy nowadays.
She tapped the table behind her, focusing everyone’s attention.” Alright, now everyone can see. This is Catherine and her family’s business, so don’t get involved and make a scene!”
After the homeroom teacher finished speaking, she said sternly to Liana, ‘ Liana, this is the class, so please don’t get your family’s matters into the class in the future. This affects the learning of the whole class. Understand?”
After being a top student for so many years, it was the first time that a teacher had lectured Liana. She couldn’t hold back her grievances, and tears poured down from her eyes.
The homeroom teacher, however, didn’t buy it and even rolled her eyes at Liana. In her opinion, if Liana hadn’t made a scene, how would it have gotten to this point?
She couldn’t understand why Liana had to target Catherine all day long. After all, they were sisters related by blood.
This way, not only did the two sisters not get along with each other, but they also disturbed the class order, which she couldn’t tolerate the most.
After speaking to Liana, the homeroom teacher turned to comfort Catherine, her attitude much better than earlier.
“Catherine, since the students are clear that you were wrongly accused, let’s end this matter for now, okay? You can go back and discuss it with Liana later. Let’s continue with the lesson first, shall we?”
The homeroom teacher’s tone carried a sense of negotiation and was not tough. She knew that this matter, most likely, was not Catherine’s fault.
Catherine didn’t want to affect the learning of the whole class. Only Liana would make a fuss over such a trivial matter. However, she didn’t want to let Liana off so easily.
Since Liana wanted to embarrass her so badly, she had to do something in response in order not to let Liana down for putting on such a good show.
“Okay, let’s put an end to this matter for now. But I don’t think it’s good for Liana to disrupt the class like this. What if the others follow her example?”
Liana’s eyes suddenly widened when she heard Catherine’s words. She initially thought that this matter had already been settled, but she didn’t expect that Catherine wouldn’t let her off the hook.
The homeroom teacher, however, felt that Catherine’s words were somewhat reasonable, and what she feared the most was the others following the terrible examples.
The country had its laws, and the class had its rules. This couldn’t be changed.
“It makes sense.” The homeroom teacher looked at Liana seriously and announced the punishment. She said, ” Liana, you’ll stand in the last row during this class as a punishment!”
Ronin couldn’t have been happier to hear it and clapped his hands. ” Teacher, awesome decision!”
Liana’s face darkened in anger when she saw this, but she couldn’t do anything to Ronin.
